Event Description
|
It was reported that the customer called to ask about fiber optic (fo) catheters.They reported they had a patient on the cs300 intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) and when the cuff pressure dropped due to the patient's condition, the intra-aortic balloon (iab) did not drop.The difference in pressure was enough that the customer was concerned.They have recently begun using fiber-optic iabs and are not comfortable with them.The getinge representative advised it can be difficult to compare the cuff (one moment in time) to the continuous pressure monitoring of the iabp.The getinge representative also advised the customer to consider pressing the zero key at any time to confirm pressure.The cuff was showing 120 systolic and the iabp was in the 180s.The customer reported that once the patient is removed from the iabp, it will be sent to the biomed for service.No patient harm, serious injury or adverse event was reported.
